| Comment | If the Brooklyn Base Ball Club organized in 1846, then who played in 1845? And what was the "New Ball Club" mentioned in the Whip, March 19, 1842 under the heading "Brooklyn Wants" "The names of the members who compose that new Ball Club. We understand their head quarters is at the Pig and Whistle." (At the time, "Pig and Whistle" was a common slang term for saloon.) [ba] Edit with form to add a comment |

Win/Loss Records As Far As We Now Know
Warning: Users should not rely on a team's won-loss record as a reflection of its "standing" among all base ball clubs. Team schedules were not balanced, and a good record against mostly weak opponents does not signify a leading club.
